"Xiangye, Lu Shangshu asks to see you."

Lu Xiang was a little surprised, "Invite someone to the flower hall." After speaking, he looked at Jiang Quan again, "Go back and tell Niangniang to let her rest assured."

Jiang Quan saw that Lu Xiang had no intention of writing a letter, so he didn't dare to ask more, so he hurriedly turned around and left.

After sending Jiang Quan away, Lu Xiang carefully brushed his thoughts again, and then went to the flower hall to see Lu Zhongqi.

Lu Zhongqi immediately got up when he saw Lu Xiang coming in, "I've seen Xiangye."

"Sit, Mingda. Why are you here now, but there's something important?" Lu Xiang smiled and asked.

Lu Zhongqi looked at Lu Xiang's expression without urgency or impatience, and his face was relaxed, not like he was disturbed by the leakage of the exam questions, Lu Xiang was so calm and relaxed, it seems that his thoughts should be right.

He read the letter his daughter wrote to him, but there was one thing she didn't know, she was very tied to the right side, and it was not painful to jump off this boat.

Since this boat can't jump, it can only help Lu Xiang through this crisis.

"There's something important I want to tell you." Lu Zhongqi said bluntly, "I just got the news, Your Majesty will investigate this fraud case to the end."

Lu Xiang raised his eyes and looked at Lu Zhongqi, "Where did you get this news?"

Lu Zhongqi said softly, "News from the palace."

The news in the palace can only come from Lu Zhongqi's daughter, which is consistent with Concubine Lu's statement.

"What do you want to do when you come to tell me this?" Lu Xiang looked at Lu Zhongqi and asked.

Lu Zhongqi sighed, "Xiangye, I know that you were deceived this time, and the scientific research fraud case was completely made by the people below, but this time Your Majesty insists on investigating thoroughly to the end, if you still have to protect them, I am afraid that the emperor will not explain it to you, but it will affect you." Zuo Xiang is eyeing the tiger, such a good opportunity will not be missed, Xiangye, you have to think twice."

Is Lu Xiang really innocent?

Not necessarily.

The people below accepted the silver that came up from filial piety, although he did not leak the question, but the exam paper was copied by others, which was Lu Xiang's dereliction of duty.

At this time, if Lu Xiangruo did not abandon the car to protect the handsome, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Does Lu Xiang really want to protect them? It's not necessarily a matter of conscience, but I just don't want to be bitten back by the next person.

Compared with the people below, Lu Xiang naturally still values his own future and safety, and Lu Zhongqi's persuasion coincides with Concubine Lu.

"Who is behind the Yuquan Tower?" Lu Xiang looked at Lu Zhongqi and asked.

If it weren't for Yuquanlou's sideways, the leaked exam papers would be printed all over the sky, how could things ferment so quickly?

"Yuquan Building is the property of the Xie family, and the girl of the Xie family has a great relationship with Song Jieyu."

"Song Jieyu again?" Lu Xiang is not doing well, and now he has a headache when he hears this name.

This word made Lu Zhongqi's heart chuckle, and he remembered that Concubine Lu's title was withdrawn and his daughter was grounded, and his face was not very good-looking.

"Yes, right now, Song Jieyu is being favored, and Song Jieyu's cousin is also leading the trouble, so it's not good to move her at this time." Lu Zhongqi persuaded tactfully, but he was afraid that Lu Xiang would be angry and would have to take Yuquanlou to vent his anger, and the more things were involved, the more difficult it would be to end.

Lu Xiang smiled lightly, "Mingda don't worry, Yuquanlou has made a meritorious contribution this time, maybe there will be other opportunities."

Lu Zhongqi's heart sank when he heard this, and he wondered that Yuquanlou would probably be unlucky after this incident.

However, as long as it is not at this juncture.

If something happens to Yuquan Tower, Song Jieyu in the palace may not really care, let's talk about it at that time, let's talk about it first.

Cheating in the field has always been hated by the emperor, not to mention that His Majesty now needs good talents to fight against these old ministers, and now that this kind of thing is happening, how can the emperor give up?

He remembered Song Hunnan and the words of the students who raised their arms and shouted, saying that they should go to the Gongyuan Academy, beat the drums, and fight for fame and fame!

Is this just a matter of fighting for a clear understanding?

Naturally not.

The students who have studied hard in the cold window, which one is not talented and rich, this Song Huran is not only outstanding in knowledge, but also very eloquent, and it is easy to incite people's hearts.

Thinking of the fact that not long after entering the palace, Song Jieyu, who was favored by the emperor, so that the emperor could even give up the three concubines aside, Song Jieyu, who has favored her alone so far, is worthy of being a sibling, and this style is quite similar.

Lu Zhongqi had a toothache, after all, his daughter had fallen on Song Jieyu more than once.

Lu Xiang looked at Lu Zhongqi and said, "The person from the left phase of this matter must have gone into the water, and you immediately spread the news, saying that I want to protect the person who leaked the exam questions."

Lu Zhongqi was shocked, "Xiangye?"

"In this way, the person who muddies the waters behind will show his deeds, and then you will lay a big net, and if Zuo Xiang wants to see the excitement, he will have to be stained with a bloody body if he doesn't die."

Lu Zhongqi was overjoyed when he heard this, "I'll arrange it."

If only the right prime minister is damaged, the left prime minister's faction will inevitably take advantage of the situation to suppress it, but if the left prime minister's people are ripped into the water, everyone will be half a pound or eight taels, and the right prime minister will selflessly hand over the person who leaked the exam questions, and he will definitely be able to save some image in front of the emperor.

The sin of malfeasance pales in comparison to these.

It is not a simple person to be able to go to the cabinet to worship the prime minister, whether it is the right or the left minister, who has sat in this position for so many years, holding real power but not the emperor's heart, the new emperor has been on the throne for five years, and this year he has made a big splash on the scientific research case, which is clearly to show the majesty and authority of the emperor to the world.

Although Lu Zhongqi is in the Shangshu, he knows how difficult it is to be in it.

The more ruthless the right and left sides fight, it is best to lose both, so that he can hope to get ahead in the future.

He Lanyun asked Song Yexi to come out for tea today, and she made an appointment in Yuquan Building.

Xie Linlang happened to be on the board of directors of Yuquan Building, and when he got the news, he came to greet Song Yexi, and Song Yexi happened to introduce Xie Linlang to He Lanyun.

He Lanyun looked at Xie Linlang, with a little pickiness in her eyes, but there was no malice, looking at Xie Linlang's eyes and uprightness, acting neither humble nor arrogant, nodded, and said, "No wonder you can enter Yun Zhao's eyes, since you are here, sit down and talk together."

"Thanks to the county lord's love, Linlang is really flattered." Xie Linlang naturally will not let go of this opportunity, the county lord of Ming'an is good friends with Yun Zhao, this time he asked Ye Xi to drink tea here, there must be something, the most fierce thing in the capital at the moment, their Xie family happened to be mixed with one or two, she also wanted to find out the news from the county lord, so she was cheeky and took a seat.

Song Yexi soothed Xie Linlang with his eyes, turned his head to He Lanyun and smiled: "If Yun Zhao knew that the three of us were drinking tea together, he would definitely be envious, and I must write a letter to her when I go back."

He Lanyun thought for a moment, looked at Song Yexi and asked, "I want to write a letter to Yun Zhao, can you help me bring it in?"

"Of course." Song Yexi nodded and agreed, this is not a big deal, the county lord of Ming'an has a good relationship with Yun Zhao, and she will definitely help with this favor.

He Lanyun sighed that it was inconvenient to have no queen in the palace, and if she wanted to meet the people in the palace, she could only wait until the New Year's Day, if there was a queen, there would be more banquets in the palace, and she would be able to go to the banquet as her, and it would be easy to meet Yun Zhao.

Helan Yun thanked him, looked at Song Yexi and said, "I asked you out this time, and you can guess why."

Song Yexi tried hard not to let herself go to see Xie Linlang, the Xie family was a little ruthless, and she didn't know which side the Zhenbei Mansion was on, although He Lanyun was good friends with Yun Zhao, but it was just a personal relationship, and in front of the interests of the family, the private relationship was insignificant.

"There's a bit of speculation." Song Yexi showed a sincere smile, "How could the county lord ask about this matter, the Zhenbei Royal Mansion has always ignored these mundane things."

He Lanyun didn't care either, looked at Song Yexi and said directly, "I'm just worried about Yun Zhao, it's your eldest brother who is taking the lead in making trouble outside this time, and if you make such a fierce trouble, you won't implicate Yun Zhao, right?"

Song Yexi: ......

feelings: In the eyes of the county lord, they are a group of draggers!

Of course, Song Yexi can't say that his brother and Yun Zhao have discussed, so he can only be vague

He said, "Yun Zhao's temperament is similar to that of my brother."

He Lanyun was worried when she knew, and she was afraid that Song Yunzhao would go to the soup for this cousin.

Turning his head and looking at Xie Linlang again, "The Xie family is very famous in the capital after this incident, and now many students live in Yuquan Building, the bigger the limelight, the greater the danger, you must understand in your hearts."

Xie Linlang: ......

If it weren't for the county lord's sake for Yun Zhao's sake, she really wanted to flip the table, of course, she just thought about it, she couldn't afford to offend Zhenbei Wangfu.

Xie Linlang pinched his nose and said, "The county lord just rest assured, we won't hold Jieyu back."

He Lanyun looked at Xie Linlang and nodded with satisfaction, which was still interesting, "Didn't you Yuquanlou have some kind of drama troupe? In a few days, we will have a singing hall at the house during the Chung Yeung Festival, so that your family team can pass."

Xie Linlang was pleasantly surprised, Zhenbei Wangfu has a special status in Beijing, if their family's opera troupe can appear in the palace, it is equivalent to opening the door to the powerful family in Beijing.

Oops, what is the county lord's stabbing two sentences, and it is for Yun Zhao, she can bear it! It doesn't matter if you say two more sentences, as long as the Xie family's weight in the capital becomes heavier and heavier, their Xie family will not only pull Yun Zhao back, but one day they will also be able to support Yun Zhao.

"Then thank you to the county lord, I must tell my brother that let the troupe sing well, and I will definitely not embarrass the county lord." Xie Linlang had a sincere and grateful smile on her face, but there was no flattery or flattery.

Helan Yun was quite satisfied, "Sing well, my mother will invite many ladies to the banquet that day."

Xie Linlang nodded immediately, how good people are, the more the better!

Song Yexi thought that the county lord was strangely interesting, first knocked on the Xie family and then gave the Xie family a business, the weight of this business is not light, the Xie family inherited the favor of the county lord, and naturally acted with scruples in the future.

Who would have thought that Helan Yun would bother so much for Yun Zhao.

After Helan Yun finished talking to Xie Linlang, she looked at Song Yexi and said, "I have a good family business here, I want to talk to your mother when I go back, you go back and ask Mrs. Song when she is free, and I will also come to visit."

Song Yexi and Xie Linlang were stunned, the county lord, an unmarried girl, actually wanted to tell people about matchmaking?

Do you want this to be famous?

It's probably because the expressions of the two of them are too expressive, Helan Yun's face is so angry that her face is dark, can she do such a ridiculous thing as a big girl? "It's that I didn't make it clear, it was me who came to visit with my third aunt."

This is about the same, Song Yexi breathed a sigh of relief.

The atmosphere of the three of them was a little weird, and no one spoke for a while, and Song Yexi was embarrassed to ask who she wanted to introduce to her.

She's curious.

Her mother has also been very interested in her marriage recently, but it is not suitable for the matchmaker to mention a few.

can make the county lord of Ming'an speak, and he doesn't know if this marriage is suitable, if the status difference is too big, I'm afraid it won't work.

Thinking like this, I listened to He Lanyun cough lightly and said, "It's not someone else, it's my uncle's cousin, who is now a general in the army and a military attaché, I don't know if your family can get along."

Song Yexi: ......

Attache?

"Then I'll have to go back and ask my mother." Song Yexi couldn't be the master, and his face turned red as he spoke, "This kind of big thing, the county lord still asks the third lady of your mansion to come to the door and tell my mother directly."

They are all girls' homes who haven't gone out, where can they talk about this.

Xie Linlang was about to die of laughter when she watched the play on the side, but her face didn't show it at all, if she dared to laugh, both of them would cover their faces and run away.

Don't dare, don't dare!

After Song Yexi came back from Yuquan Tower, she went to see her mother, but she didn't expect her eldest sister to be there, and she said it in anticipation.

Big Lady: ......

Song Guiyi: ......

"The county lord of Ming'an is just messing around, how can such a big thing go and tell you first?" The eldest lady's face was not very good-looking.

Song Yexi coughed lightly, "The county lord means that he is afraid that our family will not look down on the military attaché, and he wants me to hand over a word first, if you don't have the intention, this matter should not be done."

Born."

"Then you can't act like this, are all the ladies in the capital so powerful now?" Song Guiyi shook his head and said, "Saying that matchmaking is a big deal, that is, to test the tone of our family, and it should also be the third lady of the palace who entrusts the lady who is familiar with our family to come to the door, where is it just a few little girls of you."

Song Yexi thought about it for a while, and then said, "The temperament of the county lord of Ming'an is so straightforward, and he doesn't have any bad intentions."

The eldest lady glared at her daughter, "You don't care about this matter, I have my own opinions."

Song Yexi nodded hurriedly in response, she just handed over a word, and she didn't dare to care.

Song Guiyi looked at Ye Xi and said with a smile, "I didn't expect the county lord of Ming'an to be good to Yun Zhao."

Song Yexi nodded, "It wasn't easy at first......

She briefly talked about the matter between the county lord of Ming'an and Yun Zhao at the beginning, and Song Guiyi was happy, which can be regarded as not a lack of reunion.

The eldest lady saw that the two sisters were happy, so she sent them back to her yard to talk, and she asked people here to inquire about the family affairs mentioned by the county lord of Ming'an, she didn't know much about the Yue family.

Princess Zhenbei's maiden family is not very noble in the capital, and she is very low-key on weekdays, and she rarely hears about their family, so she has to inquire more carefully.

The next day, the county lord of Ming'an sent the letter he wrote to Yun Zhao to the Song Mansion, and personally visited the house, and apologized to the eldest lady, and briefly said the matter of the restaurant, "After returning home, my mother scolded me, saying that I was messing around, and such a major event had its own elders come forward. Please don't be surprised, Madame, because I'm young and ignorant."

The eldest lady was indeed a little annoyed, but the county lord of Ming'an came to apologize so sincerely, she didn't want to say anything, so she had to smile and said, "The county lord is also kind, don't mention this matter again."

He Lanyun handed the letter to Song Yexi in front of the eldest lady, "It's not easy for me to meet Yun Zhao, I heard Ye Xi say that she was about to send the letter to the palace, so I cheekily asked her to help carry it."

What else could the eldest lady say, she had to smile and respond.

After He Lanyun left, the eldest lady reprimanded her daughter, and Song Yexi lowered her head and remained silent.

"It's okay to send a letter, but right now, when the imperial examination case is at its most violent, the county lord of Ming'an and the son of Zuo Xiang are married, and I only got the news yesterday, and this time Zuo Xiang's family also secretly started it, in this case, how can we guarantee what will be written in the county lord's letter?"

Song Yexi's heart was shocked, she didn't know that Zuo Xiang was also pulled into the water.

"It's not that you haven't heard of the matter between the county lord of Ming'an and Ji Gongzi, she has been chasing Ji Gongzi, I heard that Ji Gongzi is reluctant to do this, if it is to please Ji Gongzi, what should not be written in the letter, wouldn't it be a burden to Yun Zhao?"

"Mother, I don't think the county lord is that kind of person, her relationship with Yun Zhao is really good."

"I hope so." The eldest lady would rather think that she has a small belly than invite disaster for no reason.

This letter finally arrived in Yun Zhao's hands, and Yun Zhao was a little surprised to see the two letters, and it was really strange when he saw that one of them was signed by He Lanyun.

She opened the letter at home first, and saw that everything was going well with the eldest lady's writing, and the left and right sides had already bitten each other, and there would be results soon.

Song Yunzhao was reassured, it seemed that the emperor's methods were tough, so the speed of investigating the case was very fast, and there was not much time left for the two prime ministers, so they had to make a trade-off.

After reading the family letter, I opened He Lanyun's letter, and was shocked when I saw the first sentence, He Lanyun said that she wanted to divorce Ji Yunting.

She knows how much He Lanyun likes Ji Yunting, she didn't hesitate to fight with Qin Xiyue several times after chasing after his ass, why did she want to withdraw after finally making a marriage?

Thinking of this, she continued to look down, only to see that He Lanyun wrote that this family affair was originally the initiative of the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion to come to the door to discuss marriage, she thought it was Ji Yunting's meaning, and she was very happy in her heart.

Later, after the marriage, Ji Yunting avoided her everywhere, and always made excuses when she wanted to meet, at first she really thought that he was busy with his studies, but later his brother found out that Ji Yunting did not meet her, but often went to Sanyuan Building to sit down, so he guessed that Ji Yunting might still be worried about Qin Xiyue, so he put it

I told her about it.

Song Yunzhao frowned, Sanyuanlou is indeed the place where Ji Yunting and Qin Xiyue intersect the most in the book, and it is disgusting for Ji Yunting to do this.

He Lanyun wanted to withdraw from her relatives but was reluctant, but she couldn't swallow these things, so she wrote to Yun Zhao to say that she was depressed.

People who fall in love will always suffer from gains and losses.

Song Yunzhao can understand this kind of feeling very well, after all, Helan Yunyun's feelings for Ji Yunting are not only the love between men and women, but also the friendship that grew up since childhood, and it is indeed not easy to give up.

The reason for her biggest disappointment was not these, but that Ji Yunting agreed to marry her because Qin Xiyue wrote a letter to persuade him.

Song Yunzhao really didn't know what to say, Qin Xiyue really deserved to be the original heroine, and she would do such an operation.

Isn't this deliberately disgusting people?

Helan Yun's temperament must not have known this reason when she was married, but Ji Yunting's state was not right after the marriage, so she would inevitably go to investigate, and this investigation would be understood.

He Lanyun wrote this letter to her because she had already made up her mind in her heart, but it was better to say it.

Song Yunzhao replied to Helan Yun first, this time it was not like persuading her when she was in Zhichun Palace, she only said that life is long for decades, and she only hopes that she can live happily.

How to define this happiness depends on Helan Yun herself.

But for Qin Xiyue, Song Yunzhao really felt that she really thought too highly of her, the heroine in the book was resolute and strong and did not give in to the evil forces, why did she see the heroine being another shadow of the opposite?

When I first entered the palace, I wanted to make a name for myself through Zhen Meiren, but I was unsuccessful.

Later, there were several things in the palace with her shadow, especially Lu Zhixue who was like a mentally retarded person who had a hard time with her, Qin Xiyue contributed a lot, and there was also a Zhu Cai who died here.

Later, it was Chen Guiji, and Chen Guiji was not wronged in the book, but the plot was still behind, this time not only did the plot advance in advance, Qin Xiyue also stepped on Chen Guiji and was promoted.

The heroine is really steady step by step, but she is on the road of black heart and never looks back.

Song Yunzhao also competes for favor in the harem, and will protect herself reasonably and legally and premeditatedly, but the premise is that she will not take the initiative to calculate other people's lives.

I really don't know what went wrong, and things suddenly became like this.

wrote a reply letter to Helan Yun and sent it out, Song Yunzhao was still uneasy, how could there be such a cheap person in this world.

It's because she's not doing well herself, so she can't see others better than her.

This is thanks to the fact that He Lanyun has been enlightened by herself a few times, if this was the previous temperament, there would definitely be trouble......

Thinking of this, Song Yunzhao's expression froze, so is it possible that Qin Xiyue just wanted Helan Yun to make trouble?

In the book, Helan Yun's fate is not good, now Qin Xiyue is attacking He Lanyun, will it be because He Lanyun is good friends with him, so Qin Xiyue can't do anything about herself for the time being, so she wants to block herself?

The more Song Yun Zhaoyue thinks it makes sense, the more she feels that it makes sense, the more she can't suppress her anger!

Okay, Qin Xiyue won't let her have a good time, she has to find something for her to do!

She remembered that there was a crisis for the heroine in the book, which was caused by her eldest brother accepting bribes, and Qin Yuanjing, the eldest son of Qin Taifu, was in charge of smelting affairs in the Ministry of Industry, and all kinds of mines wanted to mine the articles of the Ministry of Industry, so this position had some weight.

Qin Yuanjing took advantage of his position to accept bribes and squeeze the mine to make a lot of profits.

Qin Xiyue is unkind, so don't blame her for being unjust.

If you don't give her some good looks, I really think I'm a soft-footed shrimp.

made up her mind, Song Yunzhao began to think about how this incident broke out in the book, she couldn't tear the Song family into the water, so she could only borrow the hand of the troublemaker in the book to let the matter break out in advance.
